[Solid]

Wow, that's sweet

[indieZHP]

I saw that car at HIN L.A.
Good to see that our cars are finally getting some extreme power.
Doesnt someone on here already have it?

[0hMyGod]

That's sick. :drool:

[Mpowered]

where does it say 25k installed?

im in for 25k including install

[ACS3 A.R.T]

damn 25 installed is pretty bank is that shiet gonna blow?

[CruizinKO]

where does it say 25k installed?

im in for 25k including install

21k for parts + 4k for labor. and evosport themselves posted this on another msg board, that's how i know it's 25k... :)

[CruizinKO]

damn 25 installed is pretty bank is that shiet gonna blow?

according to them it shouldn't blow since they are rebuilding/blue printing the whole engine from the ground up. They are also lowering the compression on the motor

[JimBOT]

You going to buy it?

[CruizinKO]

You going to buy it?

if you give me 25k i will :idea:

[Alan L.]

Holy :yikes:

55K for the M3
25K for the SC

80K I rather have the E60 M5 w. the V10.

[Alex]

:omg: man-o-man!! incredible, makes me :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Mpowered]

Cashman is saying that pricing is not yet final on m3forum and on bimmerforums...

sorry, just a lil confusing

[stylinexpat]

Anything over $15, I'D sell and get the M5, Even $10K, you would have to think..

[Cashman]

When I lasted talk to Evosport, I was told not to say anything about pricing, just to say it isn't finalized yet. With Simon saying it will be in the 25 range then that is what it will be. Sorry if I have confused anybody.

I said this on other boards but I will say it here as well, this kit isn't for everybody, but those that do decided to purchase the kit(and there will be more than you think) will be quite happy with what they get.

[Dieselboy]

at 80k i think this **** is worth it.

[BMW DZYN]

GUys. esstuning.com european supercharge systems. will take your m3 to 450 at the wheels. Thats just 50 shy of this evosport kit. Add some nos and your there.

NOT TO MENTION: the kit has been out for 3 years, dino proven, and reliable, as opposed to this new kit.

AND!!!! its like 15GRAND LESS>

And furthermore. What the hell are they thinking selling a kit for so damn much. PEOPLE WE OWN 3 series not the z8.

Seriously the most expensive m3 you can get is the cabrio at 63K. WHo spends that money on a car and then practicaly half the cars value on a kit?

Maybe if this were ferrari fanatics, or lambo enhusiasts.

Come on. Check out the ess system its so nice.

that HP quoted on the ESS website is at the crank... not the wheel...

[vaio76109]

25k is ****ing ridiculous!

[BMW DZYN]

Somewhere on that website they have dyno results showing that their estimates are at the wheels.

[Bradytopaz330]

M3 and m5 are completely diff cars in my opinion. Ive driven an m5 with dinan intake, software, and exhaust and ive driven a stock m3 and between the two the m3 still feels like more fun. The m5 is a little too boaty for my taste and the new m5 is gonna be even worse. Dont get me wrong though the m5 is a blast but an m3 with 600hp sounds good to me :)

It's at the crank. I am 100% sure because I have corresponded with them regarding this kit on many, many occasions.

Still for the money, and with the warrenty, you cant go wrong. Just take the savings and invest a small amount in a 150 shot and your practically there.

Any moron with half a brain and any BIMMER knowledge knows not to use nitrouis on a BMW. BMWs driving principle has been that power and accleration should never exceed the handling. Nitrous is meant for straight races i.e. 1/4 mile drag. You do not nitrous taking a 60 degree turn in an autocross, and you do not Drag a bimmer. You drive one! And let's think here for a minute... BMW M3s have an aluminum block.... lets look at the equation Aluminum Block + 150 shot of nos = KABOOM! Let's not be ignorant about BMW from now on please.

[vaio76109]

and you do not Drag a bimmer... Let's not be ignorant about BMW from now on please.
Wait, who's being ignorant here? :rolleyes:

[malakia12]

I personally think for the M3, the best bang for the buck is AA. Obviously the Evosport kit is awesome, but I don't see too many people buying this kit for that price. Even the ESS kit looks good, and for the price once again, it is a good deal. As with all our E46's, our main problem is SOFTWARE. If you want massive HP out of the M3, go Turbo. I know I know, KABOOM. Obviously, since Evosport has Low Compression Pistons and Rods, there must be another company that has these as well. Lower the compression, get a custom turbo manifold, a nice ball bearing turbo, and a stand alone kit(tec3), and you will kill any M3 on the road. Now I know all those parts will cost you about the same as the Evosport kit, but you will be pushing a hell of a lot more HP than the Evo kit :) Just my thoughts, I know its easier said than done, but if you have the $$$$$, then why not?

Excellent post! I could get a custom turbo application built, but the price is heavy!!!! Most M3 owners splurged on their cars already. I respectufully might be the youngest M3 owner out of the bunch! But I gaurentee I know more than the idiots with NOS.

First of all jr. don't be so insulting. Its a sign of cowardace to insult people while hiding behind a computer screen. :ghey:

Second, The nos is merely a sugestions for those of us who DO take our BM's on to the track and try to reduce our quarter mile. The hell with principle, diffrent people enjoy their cars in diffrent ways. Hell, even if what you like is racing on the street, this isnt the fast and the furious sparky, your not going race an m3 around a shalom course on the street, generaly, its a straight shot down the street, in which case a nice shot of nos would do the trick. And 450 at the crank would still be able to rocket you around those turns, when you need it.

Point, be civil, respect others opinions.

BMW M3s have an aluminum block

S54 block is actually cast iron.

Tim

[Iceman1]

the M3's S54 motor is an iron block... and the only reason you wouldnt wanna spray a BMW is because of the high compression ratio. everbody keeps sayin it will go kaboom... without realizing why... nothin inherent in the motor or the car or any principle... infact you need to lower the compression for ALL serious forced induction applications... (6-8 psi is not a serious application)... thats why all big power S/C or turbo kits cost soo much casue they need to rebuild the motor with low compression forged pistons...new rods would be good too... there are other ways to lower compression as well...

secondly nitrous on a supercharged car (especially anything over a 100 shot) is a lot more stressful... and should only be attempted on purpose-built race motors...

[RhaceM3]

[QUOTE=Iceman1]the M3's S54 motor is an iron blockQUOTE]
I stand Corrected. I meant 3 series. I know BMW is going to use some magnesium in the future. But If you have a bimmer with an aluminum block and nitrous i bet 99/100 times you burn up your engine before your 35000 mark. And if you do take a BMW on a 1/4 mile. You are running the wrong race. Join BMW CCA and take it on an infield track and learn what bimmer's are really made of. YES I have tried drag once or twice in my M and yes I got burned by a cobra. Yet I will lap it on the infield course. M cars do not leave their trade at the strip. And no, I do not race my M regularly on the street like rice heads. Race you car how you like, but BMW's principle is not on drag!

BMW's are neither drag cars NOR roadcourse/auto-x cars.

SUBJECT ON MY PART = :banghead: no more post for me on this thread. It's just a taste in cars I guess.

[Hartge50]

I wonder how much discount Evo will give with Group Buy? :rolleyes: :pimpin:

[e popa]

For 24k I'll buy this kit in a heartbeat. :thumbup:






Now all I need is the 55k for the M3 :rolleyes:

[mattman]

It's at the crank. I am 100% sure because I have corresponded with them regarding this kit on many, many occasions.

It's 500 RWHP which is around 590HP CRANK.

[Micro64]

Holy :yikes:

55K for the M3
25K for the SC

80K I rather have the E60 M5 w. the V10.


I AGREE.. but it is still a good news. breaks the M3 Non SCable(Safely) Rule.

[mag-racer]

It's 500 RWHP which is around 590HP CRANK.

I was referring to the ESS kit.

[DeeboM3]

Will this kit work for SMG or strictly manual? Also does anyone know what kind of torque gains we are looking at? Thanks.

[JC7727]

I AGREE.. but it is still a good news. breaks the M3 Non SCable(Safely) Rule.

Buy an used M3 for around 30,00 than S/C it :woot:

[vaio76109]

I would assume it would work because SMG works the same as a manual, just with some hydraulics. Altho contact them to be shure.

[Skeeter]

I think 6-8 years down the line im going to get this.

[04E46]

These guys are full of Shi- . From experience, tuners that almost double an engines HP end up with a not too reliable powerplant. I dont care who builds it.

Whos full of **** and why?

[pimpn04coupe]

you are paying 25k for a reason... they rebuild so many things in your engine so that the freakin thing is reliable... i think its great and worth the price... if u want to compare it to the aa kit that makes like 90 rwhp lol for 9 grand or something like that... this one almost doubles the horsepower... i wonder how the stock tranny likes the added power? god dam i wish i had 25k and an m3 lol

[SikE46]

I think the evosport kit is gorgeous and well engineered, however that price tag is just too much. The AA kit is much more in line with reality, and I do understand that they are completely different kits. Even if I was at the M3 level, i'd be hard pressed to drop that much paper when you could move up to an M5 or used exotic of somesort. Thats my 2 cents.

[Nico3k]

The price is actually not bad AT ALL for what you are recieving. Go to any custom motorshop and ask them how much it would cost to get forged pistons and rods and to have your compression lowered with custom ECU tuning ON AN M3... you will be at 25k in a heartbeat. And that does not even include the supercharger.

[vaio76109]

Still seems very expensive...

[Bimmer_Thr33]

i've already got that.. i've had a prototype for months.. i was just waiting for someone to post it so i could open my mouth and spill the secret.

e46 m3 with the evosport S/C mine's got about 595-600. estoril blue. HRE rims. basically stock besides the S/C. i love it!






























....i wish! :thumbup: :yikes: that would be sick!!

[Hartge50]

Maybe if there was enough interest for a Group Buy then maybe we can get 50% off? :rolleyes: :lmao: :P :craig:
